Poly Brush applied

First coat is brushed on after a wipe down with MEK and a tack cloth. Marie pitched in to help with the tack rag.

The first coat is brushed on (why it’s called poly BRUSH) and it soaks through the fabric.

Bottom side still drying
Top side, still drying
Poly Brush mixed 3:1 with reducer.

Left Aileron

While waiting on my mechanics helper (Marie), I removed the old fabric from the left aileron. Other than just dirty it looks really good.
